Given  r=cosωtx^+sinωty^  ____(1)

as we know   v=drdt=d(cosωtx^+sinωty)dt

v=ωsin(ωt)x^+ωcos(ωt)y^ (2)

a=dvdt=d(ωsin(ωt)x^+ωcos(ωt)y^)dt

=ω2cos(ωt)x^ω2sin(ωt)y^

a=ω2(cos(ωt)x^+sin(ωt)y^) (3)

From (1) and (2)
we get

vr=[ωsinωx^+ωcosωty].[cosωtx^+sinωy^]=ωsin(ωt)cos(ωt)+ωcos(ωt)sin(ωt)=0

So we can conclude that  v  and r are perpendicular to each other.

From (1) and    a=ω2(r)

So we can conclude that  a  and  (r) have opposite directions.

  The acceleration is directed towards origin.
